Instead of each member of your family each purchasing the same item, IOS 8 allows the sharing of purchases from iTunes, iBooks, and the App Store to up to six people in your household. You can also keep up with each other’s photos, calendars, locations, and more.

No matter which device you are using with IClouds you always have the latest of each, whether it is documents, apps, notes or contacts. Now with IOS 8, Apple has taken IClouds a step further to allow users to also safely store all their presentations, spreadsheets, PDFs, images, and any other kind of document in iCloud and access them from iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, or PC.

Health. Health is a very important aspect of human being and Apple has decided that they need to be a big part of their user’s life.

Working with all your Health Apps that you use to check your heart rate, calories, cholesterol and others, can all be seen on one dashboard accessible with a tap, giving you a clear and current overview of your health.

Connect all your Apple Devices. In today’s modern high tech world, it is very hard to find someone with just one device, and that is true for Apple lovers. With IOS 8, all your Apple devices can now become one. For example say you are working on an email using your Mac and for some reason you have to leave. Instead of rushing through the email, you can start writing your email on one device and then continue writing it on another device, e.g. your IPhone. Everything is now connected, even sending SMS or answering calls.

Find things quicker and easier with Spotlight. Spotlight searches sites like Wikipedia, places nearby, what news are trending, and more.
